[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I hate the whole "split it equally concept.

I don't drink anything harder than Diet Coke and due to severe food allergies, I rarely eat anything more than a salad when I go out to eat. One of my groups of colleagues drinks multiple drinks and eat multi-course meals when we go out. They always want to split the bill equally,  which can easily be $75+/person. Usually, my portion is more like $10-$15, so even with a tip, I cost no more than $20. I resent paying an extra $50+ to subsidize them.[/quote]

I get that it's annoying to pay for someone's lobster if you're ordering an appetizer, but if an adult makes bill time complicated by stating they should pay less, that person won't be invited out much longer. It reads as cheap and overly complicated. You might not want to go out with groups for dinner if you're just going to order salad and be all annoyed about it?[/quote]

They are [b]colleagues who want to have a working dinner. H[/b]ow do I avoid that?

It's one thing to pay an extra $10 or so. It's another thing to pay an extra $50.

The "cheap" ones are the ones who are perfectly content to allow someone else to subsidize them. When you order $100 worth of drinks and food and only have to pay $60-$70, who is the cheap one? [/quote]

Someone expenses it. That one is easy. [/quote]
